After gaining an NVQ level 2 Teaching Assistant certificate I joined Buckden School where I have been working for 9 years.  My first role was helping a small group of Year 5 children for 3 afternoons a week with literacy.
I joined the Foundation Team in September 2004.  During this time I have gained lots of experience working alongside the class teacher delivering learning activities to small groups of children and adapting lessons to meet the needs of the children.  I have attended several courses including Jolly Phonics, Positive Behaviour Management, Social Skills, Child Protection, ICT Level 2, Training for Primary Teaching Assistants, EYFS Training, Elklan (Speech and Language) Level 2 and Paediatric First Aid.
During 2010 I achieved a NVQ Level 3 certificate in Support Work in Schools and I alos became a Reception Keyworker.
